12 Brands Like Roksanda for Colour, Capes and Drape (2026)

The best brands like Roksanda are Emilia Wickstead, Safiyaa, Erdem, Richard Quinn, Huishan Zhang and David Koma, with Solace London, Jenny Packham, Alexander McQueen, Magda Butrym, Patou and ME+EM close behind. Each shares part of the Roksanda formula: bold colour, sculptural cut and drape. All twelve are stocked at Luxury Shoes .

No single house does everything Roksanda does. Roksanda Ilincic trained in architecture before her MA at Central Saint Martins, and her clothes combine three things: unexpected colour pairings, volume built from cut and fabric, and capes that are part of the dress. The houses below match one, two and sometimes all three of those qualities. I have grouped them by what they share with Roksanda so you can shop by the part of the look you love most.

What makes a brand similar to Roksanda?

A brand is similar to Roksanda when it treats colour as the main event and builds shape through cut rather than decoration.

Roksanda’s signatures are well documented: colour blocking, architectural draping, sculptural volume, capes and cape sleeves, bias-cut silk satin, cloque and double satin. This season the house pairs ultra pink silk satin with an orange lining in the Nella Dress in Ultra Pink, and sets brown melange tailoring against a statement circular cut out in the Ivara Jacket in Brown Melange. A brand that does something comparable belongs on this list. A brand that only shares a price point does not.

Which brands share Roksanda’s colour sense?

Emilia Wickstead, Huishan Zhang and Solace London come closest to Roksanda on colour.

Emilia Wickstead

Emilia Wickstead is a London house with a New Zealand-born founder, known for structured dresses with a clean, ladylike line. The Princess of Wales wears both labels, which is the most obvious link. The closer one is colour. The Leila Dress in hot pink and orange stripe taffeta faille puts together two colours Roksanda also likes to pair. Read more in who is Emilia Wickstead.

Huishan Zhang

Huishan Zhang is a London-based designer whose gowns use crisp fabrics with real body: taffeta, duchesse and organza. If you love the volume of a Roksanda cloque skirt, the Miro Gown in Hot Pink Taffeta gives you that structure in a single saturated pink. Our guide is Huishan Zhang a luxury brand has the background.

Solace London

Solace London keeps its shapes simple and lets colour lead, which makes it the calmer cousin on this list. The Vera Maxi Dress in Fuchsia sits close to Roksanda’s Heliotrope shade. Solace is the better choice if you want Roksanda colour without the drama of a cape.

Which brands share Roksanda’s capes and drape?

Safiyaa, Magda Butrym and Richard Quinn build capes and drape into their dresses the way Roksanda does.

Safiyaa

Safiyaa is a London evening label known for cape dresses in fluid fabrics, which makes it the most direct alternative for a Roksanda cape gown. The Banu Wine Long Dress shares the deep wine shade of Roksanda’s Autumn Winter 2026 palette. Our guide to Safiyaa cape dresses covers the full range, and brands like Safiyaa shows where the two overlap.

Magda Butrym

Magda Butrym is a Warsaw-based designer with a romantic, draped style. Her Draped cape midi dress in burgundy is one of the closest single pieces to Roksanda at Luxury Shoes : a cape, a midi length and the burgundy that runs through Roksanda’s current season. See brands like Magda Butrym for more.

Richard Quinn

Richard Quinn is a London designer known for couture-level drama. The Runway Embellished Black Cocktail Dress with Draped Taffeta Cape uses the cape the way Roksanda does, as part of the dress, with more embellishment than Roksanda would add. Read who is Richard Quinn for his story.

Which brands share Roksanda’s sculptural cut?

David Koma, Alexander McQueen and Patou shape the body through cut, as Roksanda does.

David Koma

David Koma is a London label known for sculpted, body-conscious dresses. The Drape Waist And One Shoulder Gown is the closest match to Roksanda’s draped one-shoulder shapes. Koma cuts closer to the body than Roksanda, so expect a sleeker line with less volume.

Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen is the London house founded by Lee Alexander McQueen, known for sharp tailoring and theatrical evening wear. The Asymmetric Drape Evening Dress is draped across the body in a way that echoes the Roksanda Zoa. McQueen is the darker, more dramatic alternative.

Patou

Patou is a Paris house that plays with volume. The One-shoulder bubble mini dress in Lipstick Red shows the same interest in shape and strong colour, at a shorter, more playful length than most Roksanda evening pieces.

Which brands are closest to Roksanda for eveningwear?

Erdem and Jenny Packham are the closest London alternatives for formal evening dressing.

Erdem

Erdem is a London house founded by Erdem Moralioglu, best known for embroidery and prints. The label was founded in 2005, the same year Roksanda made its London Fashion Week debut. The Embroidered Textured Satin Short Sleeve Draped Gown has the short sleeve and drape of a Roksanda gown with Erdem’s embroidery added. See who is Erdem.

Jenny Packham

Jenny Packham is a British designer known for embellished evening gowns. The Ines Dress in Magenta brings a Roksanda-strength colour to a more decorated gown. Choose Packham when you want sparkle, and Roksanda when you want the cut alone to carry the look. Read who is Jenny Packham.

Which brand is like Roksanda for everyday dressing?

ME+EM is the most wearable alternative, with polished midi dresses in the same deep reds.

ME+EM is a London label built around smart, practical pieces for work and weekends. The Fit and Flare Midi Dress in Merlot sits in the same colour family as Roksanda’s wine and burgundy, with a simpler cut for daily wear. It pairs well with Roksanda tailoring such as the Ines Trouser in navy satin-faced wool.

What should you check when buying a Roksanda alternative?

Check the fabric weight, the lining and where the volume comes from before you buy.

Much of what makes Roksanda feel like Roksanda is invisible in a photograph. The house relies on fabrics with body, such as cloque, double satin and silk satin, and most pieces are lined in 73% acetate and 27% silk. That combination lets a skirt hold its shape and a cape fall cleanly without extra structure underneath.

• Fabric: taffeta, faille, duchesse and cloque hold volume; jersey and chiffon drape closer to the body.
• Lining: a silk-blend lining helps a structured dress sit smoothly and feel comfortable through a long evening.
• Cape construction: a cape that is stitched into the shoulder seam stays put; a detachable cape gives you two looks.
• Colour: a single saturated shade gives you the Roksanda effect even in a simpler cut.

Read each product description for composition and fit notes, and compare them with the Roksanda size guide if you are moving between labels.
